Hello friends,
I am so sad for the people in the south for all the losses they have had in the last few days and the destruction. We have our share of tornadoes here in Oklahoma but that one was so bad and so many lives lost. They are in my prayers.

This card is for a friend who has a birthday coming up. I've had this Tilda for over a year and this is the first time she has seen ink. I really like her and guess I am on an aqua kick because so many of the last few cards I've made are in this color. Hope you like her too.

A lot of the men in our family love cards with a western theme. I am trying to get a few made ahead so I will have them. There are lots of birthdays coming up so made about 6 of this type of card. I know they will like them as they prefer this type card.

I have several Granddaughters who love to cook so I always make cards for them with Tilda cooking or using some utensils and they love them. When you have as many as I do you try to make their cards ahead so you will have them when you need them.

We had a wonderful Easter. I hope you did too.

This is a lazy day for me. It rained all night and is still raining now. It is a good day to stay inside and relax, maybe work in my craftroom.

This week at the Corrosive Challenge we were to use an animal on our cards. I love the Penny Black Hedgies so that is what I chose to use this week. I have been doing lots of pastel cards for Easter so wanted to use some bright colors on this card. I hope you can come and play with us this week. All you need to enter is an animal image on your card. I am looking forward to seeing you over there at their homepage.

Here is another Birthday card for one of the grandaughters. I love this Tilda and she is my favorite of the new sets. I wish I hadn't colored the flower pink but I did color this one before choosing a dp, so that is what happens when I do that.

I am hoping you all have a wonderful Easter weekend. We are all getting together and having a dinner and an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday and then going to Church on Sunday. I will be having company and looking forward to seeing everyone. I am really happy that they will be going to Church with us.

Have a great evening tonight. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the sweet comments you leave.Linda

I couldn't wait to get one of the Peekers. I love this little girl peeking into the bird bath. I am entering this in SCACD's current challenge. You can find all the information on the Challenge blog here.. I am also entering this card in the CMC challenge to do pastels. You do not have to be taking a copic class from Suzanne Dean to enter their challenges. You can find the information on Color Me Creative Challenges here.

I just couldn't get the flowers right. I think there are too many but when I took some of them off it didn't look right that way either. I decided to leave it alone. I still think I should remove the ones at the bottom. What do you think? Is it too much? I love the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts but sometimes use too many.

Thanks for coming by today and thanks for all the sweet comments. They make me so happy.

I love this little girl in her playsuit. I also love the Wild Orchid Crafts daffodils.

I'm not sure which grandchild will get this card but one of them will. I have a grandaughter to be with a birthday Saturday so she may get it. I hope she likes it as it is one of my favorites that I have made.

Thank you for coming by today and checking out my card. Thank you so much for the nice comments you leave me. I'm off to visit my Mother today probably in the afternoon. She is about 45 min. away in a care center. She will be 88 yr. old in a few weeks. I am so blessed to still have her.

Sorry for the horrible photo. I just saw all the shadows under the flowers. I'm not going to fix it tho, just have too many things to do.

This week our challenge at the Corrosive Challenge blog is Home Sweet Home! I didn't have a home stamp of any kind so I went with the bird bath as being Home Tweet Home. I hope it is okay and it works for the DT. It was fun to make. This is a Whipper Snapper Image and it was colored with copic markers.

As of May 1, I will be an official member of the design team for the Corrosive challenge and I am really happy to join. I'm sure I will have many questions because this is the first time I have been on a DT. Thanks Janet for asking me. I appreciate your faith in me.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Thanks for all the awesome comments.Linda

This blog award was sent to me from my friend Cindy over at Cindy's Antics. I was really surprised. Thanks so much Cindy. There are no requirements to this so am sending it to a few friends. Please check out Cindy's fabulous blog. I know you will enjoy her beautiful cards.

I hope you are all doing great today. I am happy because I just got my computer back from the repair shop. I missed having it. I can't even charge my ereader without it.

I have some great grandson's with birthdays coming up next month so thought I needed to be prepared. I am loving these Hanglar Stanglar images. Hope you like it as much as I do. I love reading your sweet comments. Thanks so much for stopping by.

We have tornado warnings all over our area today and tonight so going to get off here for a little while to be safe.

This card was made with one of the kits my wonderful Secret Sister sent me. The only think that I used that was not in the kit was the doily behind the image. She has such great taste and was a wonderful SS. Thanks so much!!! You know who you are. I can't reveal the name until later this month. Hope you enjoy the card.

I hope you are having a great day today. The weather is beautiful here in Oklahoma. Of course we are desperate for rain. This is a very dry spring so far. Thanks for taking the time to stop by. I appreciate it so much.

Hi friends. I hope you had a nice weekend. We need rain desperately but it didn't happen. Storms were all around us but skipped our area. I have yard work to do tomorrow so took a little time to play in the craft room today. I love daffodils, actually like almost all spring flowers.

Thanks for coming by and taking a look. I love reading the comments. It makes my day.

I am enjoying my time as a guest designer. Love this sketch. For some fun, come join us at the Corrosive Challenge this week. I am realling having a lot of fun doing the challenges. This is one of my Lockhart stamps and my favotite flowers. My DH got me a new lilac bush for our anniversary. Now we are waiting on one of the grandkids to plant it for us.

Thursday, April 7, 2011

Good afternoon friends. I love this happy little girl. A very sweet lady sent me some Hanglar and Stanglar images and I am loving them. Pink and brown is one of my favorite color combos. Hope you like her too.

Every month about 15 ladies swap images and make a card out of whatever we are sent. This darling image was sent out by Queenbee Jo. We are having so much fun with this challenge swap. I don't know the name of this image but I really like it. Thanks Jo, for picking such a great image.

I hope you are having some sunshine and warm weather. We went from 36 degrees this morning to 78 this afternoon. I guess everyone is having crazy weather. I hope the wind quits blowing so hard tomorrow. We have wildfires everywhere. We really need rain.

I hope you all had a great weekend. I sure did with lots of family coming and going. We had a cookout with some awesome Buffalo Wings. No one cooks them as well as my son Scott. They were delicious. We had a fun weekend and got to hold lots of great grandbabies.

This card was colored with copic markers. It was made for another Grandchild. When you have as many as I do it takes lots of cards to get each one of them one. I may start leaving off the older Grandchildren because that makes about 31 for every occasion if I do everyone a card which I usually do.

Thanks for the blog awards Cheri and Kathy. I'll try to get them posted on my blog tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate all the sweet comments. God bless and have a nice day.

I am thrilled to be a guest designer for the month of April for the Corrosive Challenge. Todays challenge is pastels. This is an easy and fun challenge so hope you join us. I hope to see some familiar faces today.

Hope you all have a great Sunday. We are supposed to get in the 80's today so am looking forward to that. Our church is have a celebration today. It is going to be a big day and a church dinner to follow the services so should be fun.

Thanks so much for coming by today. I appreciate my followers taking time to come by and comment.Linda

This is for another Grandchild, a little boy this time. I hope he likes this cute little bunny. It is a Whipper Snapper image I think. I know it is an older image I have had for a long time. I love all their stamps.

A big thanks to all my CMC friends for following me. It's nice to look over and see so many new followers.

Thank you all for saying such sweet things when you leave your comments. I love reading them and appreciate you all so much.Linda
